<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by wingelbert humptyback:<BR><B> Seeing The Music was actually one of the high points of CMJ for me. I dig their album and EPs quite a bit and had a strong suspicion that their songs would actually translate better in a live setting, but they still completely surpassed my expectations. For a band that young, they are incredibly powerful and equally tight, easily living up to all the hype they've been receiving in the UK. I think I heard maybe one single questionable moment in the entire set and that was all the way at the end during one of their hyperactive buildups. And frankly, the tempo was careening out of control so much at that point, I had trouble following what was going on myself.<BR>Anyway, I am with you on hoping they come to DC soon. If I remember correctly, a piece of promotional material I picked up said they were touring the US around January opening for Coldplay (a somewhat strange combination if you ask me). Now it's just a matter of whether or not they'll stop off here. I could definitely stand to hear 'The People' again live.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Great! I've been hooked ever since I first heard "Take the Long Road and Walk it." Here's to them coming to DC, with or without Capitol labelmates Coldplay.<P>
